We have our first custom retail AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 GPU video card on the test bench in the form of the ASUS ROG STRIX RX Vega 56 O8G GAMING video card. ASUS has created a robust ROG STRIX version of RX Vega 56 with a factory overclock and overclocking ability. Let's see what it can do.

Last month we evaluated our first AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 custom-retail video card in the form of the ASUS ROG STRIX RX Vega 64 O8G GAMING video card. That video card had an MSRP of $649.99 and took the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 GPU to new heights in terms of gaming performance and overclocking. We were very impressed with the ASUS offering, and it did provide some overclocking headroom, pushing the RX Vega GPU as far as possible.

Today we follow that review with the little brother to the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, with the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and ASUS’ implementation of it in the form of the ASUS ROG STRIX RX Vega 56 O8G GAMING video card. MSRP on this one is $549.99. Let’s see how far this one can push Radeon RX Vega 56.
